In a recent episode of “American Thought Leaders,” host Jan Jekielek spoke with Rushan Abbas, founder and executive director of Campaign for Uyghurs. In 2018, six days after Ms. Abbas spoke at a Hudson Institute event about the genocide of the Uyghurs, authorities from the Chinese Communist Party arrested her sister and her aunt. Her sister was sentenced to 20 years in prison.
Jan Jekielek: It’s the fifth anniversary of your sister’s abduction. This abduction is a case in point around what you were testifying about today in Congress. What happened?
